People that come out of schools are different though. I could send my daughter to private school, but would prefer for her to be a part of the rest of society.

Inequality becomes embedded when we separate ourselves from each other, and money is one way people are enabled to.
In the UK, none of the people in charge have actually used the systems they are in charge of and schooling is just one small part.
If you travel on our rail system for longer distances you'll notice that half the train is virtually empty and reserved for 1st class tickets.
If you usually travel in the rest of the train and get one of those tickets it's amazing how isolated from the general problems caused by this system you are.
Yes - the private school system has advantages; they actually aren't in the level of education, but in the connections that people make along the way, in a way it's a very small taste of how corrupt the system is.
There are of course disadvantages to "private schools" (called public schools in the UK for historical reasons), there is a real hierarchy and bullying based on how rich you are, it all enforces the class system that we have.
Lord of the flies was not a commentary on what happens when children are left on an island, but directly on what happens when pupils of that private educations system "public schools" of the UK, are left on an island.
Right now we have a government that is full of exactly that type of person - it's worked out very badly, why on earth would we want more of that sort of thing ?
